Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 551 If you can’t be a chess player, then be a chess piece

The people of the martial arts world on Hunyuan Terrace looked at the beggar on the white horse disappearing at the top of the stone chain, and they all felt infinite envy in their hearts.

“He actually went up there…”

"so envious!"

"Hey, what do you think that white horse went up there to beg for food?"

"Who knows? But if it were me, I would definitely hope to get guidance from Lu Xianren, or even if I'm a little luckier, I could directly become his disciple!"

"Look at this magical power of moving mountains. If you can learn even a little bit of it, you won't have to worry about anything in your life!"

"Yeah, but unfortunately we don't have the Qinggong skill, so we don't have that kind of fate..."

Among the crowd, only Wang Xiaoshi and Duan Yu felt differently from others.

"Brother Wang, didn't you say before that Bai Ma Qi Shi might have accidentally encountered a hermit master who gave him the guidance, which enabled him to fly into the sky with martial arts?"

"good."

"Then do you think that the hermit master could be..."

Having said that, Duan Yu stretched out his right index finger and pointed upwards.

Wang Xiaoshi nodded slowly, as if thinking about something: "I wasn't sure at first, but now it seems... nine out of ten."

The two of them understood each other tacitly. Although neither of them expressed their guesses aloud, they already understood each other's thoughts.

The person who taught Bai Ma Qig alms and martial arts was most likely Lu Ping!

The wind on the Baxing Terrace is stronger than that on the Hunyuan Terrace, and the air is also colder.

However, the environment above is much richer than that below!
Houses, tables and chairs, plants, ponds...

It doesn't look like a place for spiritual practice, but rather like the courtyard of a wealthy family.

The best part was that Lu Ping was lazily leaning on a huge sofa cushion, eating a steaming hot pot feast, with a gramophone next to him playing melodious music.

Even though he had been in the underworld since childhood and thought he had seen the world, he couldn't help but think to himself at this moment: I have never seen such a scene!
"Huh?? I didn't expect that the first person to come up would be you?"

Even though he was enjoying the delicious meal in front of him, Lu Ping still noticed the beggar on white horse who climbed up to the Eight Stars Terrace at the first moment. However, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he waved at him casually, as if he had known him for a long time.

"Would you like to come and eat with us?"

"Master has given an order, how dare the disciple disobey?"

The beggar laughed loudly, walked to the table, looked around and didn't find a chair, so he just stood there and reached out his hand to the table.

Lu Ping's eyebrows jumped: "Go wash your hands first!"

"Uh... yes."

The white horse had no choice but to beg for food, so he turned around and walked towards the big bucket next to him, and scooped some water from it with a ladle to wash his food.

Just as Wang Xiaoshi and Duan Yu guessed, the person who taught White Horse Begging martial arts was indeed Lu Ping.

The two first met in Mingjin Town more than half a year ago.

At that time, Bai Ma Qishi had just left the Northern Beggars' Gang. He was at a loss as to what to do next. He happened to run into Lu Ping, who was distributing martial arts secrets in Mingjin Town.

Bai Ma Qi Shi was unwilling to be inferior to others, and he did not want the Northern Beggars' Sect to decline, so he simply used the little money he had on him to gamble on the martial arts secret book.

So, he was lucky enough to buy a copy of "The Disabled Hand" from Lu Ping.

Two months later, the two Song dynasties went to war. In one battle, thousands of people were displaced. Lu Ping heard the news and came here, where he happened to run into a beggar named Bai Ma who was taking in refugees.

At that time, although Bai Ma Qi Shi had established a new Beggars' Gang, the gang had few members, was not well-known, and its own strength was still far from enough.

Seeing that he was kind-hearted, Lu Ping stayed and taught him martial arts for half a month.

Out of gratitude for Lu Ping's teaching and art, Bai Ma Qi Shi no longer concealed the secret and finally told Lu Ping the biggest secret buried in his heart -

It turned out that he was not Ma Dayuan's illegitimate son, but a descendant of a foreign race, and his real name was Yelu Qi.

Yes, it’s Yelu Qi from The Return of the Condor Heroes!
The Yelu family was also a very powerful family among the foreign coalition that invaded the Zhao Song Dynasty in the past. However, after the foreign races were destroyed, this lineage was purged by the rebel army.

Yelu Qi's grandfather was killed, and his father Yelu Chucai had to change his surname and name. He then wandered around for decades, but unfortunately he died of illness, leaving behind three young children.

When Yelu Qi was eight years old, the two siblings went out to visit the Lantern Festival. Unfortunately, Yelu Qi got separated from his older brother and younger sister, and was subsequently kidnapped by a beggar.

Fortunately, he was rescued by Ma Dayuan and Bai Shijing who happened to pass by.

In order to prevent his background from being revealed, Yelu Qi pretended to be frightened and had lost his memory. Seeing this, Ma Dayuan and Bai Shijing had no choice but to take him back to the Beggars' Sect, accept him as a disciple, and named him "White Horse Beggar".

During the more than ten years he lived in the Northern Beggars' Sect, Yelu Qi did a good job as a 'beggar on a white horse', but he never forgot his real name.

However, he did not do it for revenge or to revive his family's past glory, but hoped that one day he would be able to find his brothers and sisters with this name and reunite the family.

There was another reason why Yelu Qi dared to reveal his life story. He had heard that Lu Ping was not from the Northern Wulin, so he did not hate the "foreign invasion of Zhao Song" as much as others did.

Maybe I can rely on his face to find my long-lost brother and sister.

Lu Ping didn't expect that Yelu Qi, who could only be regarded as a second-rate supporting character in the original novel, would eventually have a connection with the Beggars' Sect.

Although it was unexpected, it was still within the range of what I could accept. I just promised him casually that I would keep an eye out for him when I traveled around in the future.

Because of his practice of Tiancan Hand, Bai Ma Qishi's boxing and kicking skills are pretty good, but his body movement is not so good, so Lu Ping also taught him a technique of light Kung Fu.

Unfortunately, Bai Ma Qishi's talent was limited, and he was unable to fully master that martial art.

However, just the little bit he had understood was enough for him to stand out from the ordinary people in the world and reach the eight-star stage.

By the time Bai Ma returned to the table, Lu Ping had already put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"When you came up, there should have been quite a few people down there, right?"

"You really stole the show this time!"

The white horse beggar lowered his head and glanced at the dining table.

Where's the meat? Where's the vegetables?
There was clearly a lot of it just now, how come only a few are left after I washed my hands?
Bai Ma Qi Shi was so angry that he simply gave up eating and sat down on the ground: "No matter how much I try to show off, isn't it all because of what you taught me, Master?"

Lu Ping waved his hand and said, "It's true that I taught you martial arts, but I don't need to mention the master-disciple relationship."

"You are stepping onto the Eight Stars Platform under the spotlight of the public. It must be more than just for the sake of showing off, right?"

"If you have any ideas, please tell me!"

"If it's interesting, maybe I can act with you."

The beggar on the white horse was speechless when he heard this, but he still calmed himself down and explained his purpose.

"The courts of both Song dynasties were full of treacherous officials, and most of the officials were corrupt. The collection of the Flower and Stone Gang and Birthday Gang was a waste of money and labor. The two emperors launched wars at will, causing great suffering to the people, and did not care about the people of the world at all. Even if they were unified later, the day of the country's demise was not far away."

"I want to be the third person to play chess and bring true peace to the world!"

It turns out that this brat wants to sit at the table to eat and be the emperor?

The Beggar Emperor...

Do you think you are Zhu Yuanzhang?
"This matter... you figure it out yourself. I won't interfere. How far you can go depends on your own ability."

Lu Ping did not agree to help, but he did not stop his decision: "If you are a gangster, just stay in the gang and why do you want to get involved in government affairs?"

"…So what do you think about this chess game?"

Lu Ping raised his eyebrows immediately: "Can you compete with me?"

The beggar on the white horse suddenly stopped talking.

"In fact, I can understand your thoughts. Born in the Beggars' Sect, you have seen more sufferings of the lower-class people. Naturally, you will have some heroic thoughts of wanting to change the world and save the people from disaster."

"Unfortunately, the reason why the two emperors were able to decide the world with a game of chess is because they each had half of the country behind them, but this does not mean that others can also join in and become the third or fourth chess player to divide the world."

"To put it simply, apart from the two of them, no one else has the capital to sit at the table!"

"Even Li Chenzhou of the Power Gang, Tang Shiwu of the Tang Sect, and Zhu Shunshui behind Liangshan... those ambitious people can't do it, let alone you, a mere 'New Beggars' Sect.'"

"If you really want to do something to change the world, you might as well just respond to the two emperors' call for talents."

Bai Ma Qi Shi thought for a moment: "If I can't be a chess player, can I just be a chess piece?"

"Become a pawn and make contributions, then ask for rewards based on your achievements to improve people's livelihood?"

"That's the truth."

Bai Ma Qi Shi hesitated for a few seconds, and seemed to have finally figured something out. Then his tone became relaxed: "Since you said so, senior, then I understand."

"Have you made a decision?"

"Southern Song!"

"why?"

"Because in the past, the number of people in the Southern Beggars' Gang was smaller than that in the Northern Beggars' Gang."

The number of Beggars' Sect disciples indirectly reflects the people's livelihood issues in the country.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty was richer, the money was in the hands of a small number of people, and the gap between the rich and the poor was huge;
Although the people of the Southern Song Dynasty were very poor, most of them could still make ends meet and did not fall to the point of becoming beggars.

Of course, there is one last reason that Bai Ma Beggar did not say.

That is the killer who killed many elders of the Northern Beggars' Sect. He is ranked seventh in the world and is now in the Northern Song camp.
